1 A Joyful Return to Zion A Song of Ascents. When Ps. 128:6; (Gal. 6:16) the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, Ps. 85:1; Jer. 29:14; Hos. 6:11; Joel 3:1 We were like those who dream.
2 Then Acts 12:9 our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us, And we are glad.
4 Bring back our captivity, O Lord , As the streams in the South.
5 Job 8:21 Those who sow in tears Shall reap in joy.
6 He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with Is. 35:10; 51:11; 61:7; Jer. 31:9; (Gal. 6:9) rejoicing, Bringing his sheaves with him.
